Democratic vs. Republican Political Tactics: An Analysis

To properly compare, merchandise was picked from the official sites of the national committees of the respective parties: http://www.gop.com/ and http://www.democrats.org/

Two bumper stickers and one button was chosen from each.

DEMOCRATIC: Across the board, designs focus on simplicity and aesthetics.

Each is to-the-point and efficient.

Each item is a badge of honor — promoting yourself and the Democratic party:

0 out of 5 bumper stickers criticize those who disagree with them,

0 out of 2 buttons criticize those who disagree with them.

REPUBLICAN: Across the board, relies on catchy slogans. Only one out of the nineteen bumper sticks relies on simplicity rather than a saying.

Designs are haphazard and scattered; I was honestly surprised that this was the official site and not just a bad Cafepress offshoot.

Merchandise relies heavily on bringing down the opposition rather than promoting themselves.

11 out of 19* bumper stickers criticize those who disagree with them,

7 out of 13* buttons criticize those who disagree with them.

*These are the ones with a direct criticism/attack. There are more which are borderline attacks, which were not included in these statistics.

Based on my own deeply-seated biases:

Republicans are all about attacking, Democrats prefer taking the high road and not resorting to such.

And FWIW, I work my ass off … and while I am registered as a Democrat, I consider myself a Democratic Socialist.

“Hope” isn’t hiring, and neither is a GOP-controlled Congress, assholes.

(hey, it said Democrats *PREFER* to take the high road. doesn’t mean we have to do it all the time.)
